Broaddrick: Being Excluded From TIME’s #MeToo Movement Story ‘Disappointed Me’

Juanita Broaddrick, one of the women who accused Bill Clinton of raping her, told Fox News host Martha McCallum that she was "disappointed" that Time did not include her comments in their "Person of the Year" profile piece on the #MeToo movement against sexual violence.

In an exclusive interview that aired Monday night, MacCallum asked Broaddrick how she felt when comments she made to Time were not included in the piece, entitled "The Silence Breakers." The article highlighted women of the #MeToo movement who have put a spotlight on sexual harassment and assault by powerful figures in Hollywood, politics, the media, and elsewhere.

"Well, it was disappointing to me, Martha. They had called to ask me and asked if I would be interested in participating in a story that they were doing about the ‘Me Too’ movement," Broaddrick said. "I really didn’t feel a part of that movement. I was ‘me too’ decades before it was okay to be ‘me too,’ and I truly didn’t feel a part of that and actually at that time I did decline because just like I said, I didn’t feel a part of it."

Broaddrick continued her response after a few audio issues and said that the magazine called her back approximately two days later to ask her if she could make a comment for the story.

"I was very happy to do that. I supported these women. I thought they were brave women and I told her ‘Yes, I would be happy to submit a comment.’ And then a few days went by and I was so happy when they were declared ‘Person of the Year,’ and when I went to look for my comments, they weren’t there," she said.

"That disappointed me," she added.

MacCallum concluded the interview by asking her about the women that came together at a press conference Monday to call for a congressional investigation into President Donald Trump’s prior sexual misconduct.

"Well, I think every victim of sexual abuse has the right to be heard and they need to have fairness accordingly," Broaddrick said. "I have no idea what is true and what’s not true. I can only speak to my own situation. It was something I lived through and that’s all I can speak to."

Broaddrick has long accused Clinton of raping her in an Arkansas hotel room in 1978.

Alabama: Politico Reveals Secret Funding of Democrat Candidate Doug Jones

One of the big questions surrounding the December 12 election in Alabama for the U.S. Senate seat is who is behind a mystery super PAC backing Democrat candidate Doug Jones against Republican Roy Moore. The Washington Post last Thursday claimed that there was no evidence of such funding by George Soros. However on the day before the election, Politico weighed in with a big story about the mystery super PAC, Highway 31, with much greater detail of the players involved.

First we begin with the Washington Post denial that there was evidence of Soros financing the Jones campaign via secret super PAC:

The attempt Wednesday to force the Highway 31 ad off the air was the latest in a string of Moore campaign complaints. On Sunday, after reports by Fox News and Breitbart about progressives registering former felons to vote, Moore suggested that liberal financier George Soros was behind it, without providing any evidence. (The voter-registration campaigners were taking advantage of a Republican-backed law.)

Well, Politico has gone into a lot of detail on the secret super PAC in Secret super PAC backing Jones in Alabama exposed:

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — A mystery super PAC backing Democrat Doug Jones in Alabama is controlled by a pair of groups closely aligned with the national Democratic Party, even as the candidate strives to dissociate himself from Washington interests.

And guess who helps fund those groups. Politico reveals the answer below:

Highway 31, which dropped more than $4.1 million in support of Jones and against Roy Moore ahead of Tuesday’s Senate special election, is a joint project of two of the largest national Democratic super PACs — Senate Majority PAC and Priorities USA Action — along with a group of Alabama Democrats, multiple senior officials familiar with the arrangement told POLITICO.

…The group’s backing has remained secret until now because federal laws do not require it to disclose its donors until after the election. Jones’ camp has kept its distance from the group, and no information has surfaced until now about its background.

…The pair of Washington-based super PACs are two of the largest in Democratic politics. Priorities spent at least $190 million to try and elect Clinton in 2016, while Senate Majority spent more than $90 million in that election cycle. The groups have collected checks from a gamut of top Democratic donors, led by longtime party contributors like George Soros, Jim Simons, Haim Saban and Fred Eychaner. While both Jones and Moore have gotten support from other outside groups in recent weeks, Highway 31 is by far the biggest-spending.

So how important is this Highway 31 super PAC?

While it has largely escaped scrutiny so far, the group is the largest outside spender in the race, outpacing the pro-Trump super PAC America First Action. The Trump-affiliated group has spent more than $1 million on Moore’s behalf this month.

Yes, Highway 31 is spending way more outside money than the opposition in order to place Doug Jones in the U.S. Senate.

Report: Fusion GPS Paid Senior Justice Department Official’s Wife During 2016 Campaign

Fusion GPS, the firm behind the Trump dossier, paid the wife of a senior Justice Department official during the 2016 election, a Fox News report revealed on Monday.

The senior Justice Department official is Bruce Ohr, who was demoted last week, just before Fox News reported that he had met with dossier author Christopher Steele during the campaign, and with Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson after the election.

He was demoted for not disclosing those meetings to the Justice Department, according to Fox News.

Until last week, Ohr was both associate deputy attorney general, putting him four doors down from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, and director of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force. Ohr was removed from his first title just a day before Fox News reported on his meetings with Fusion GPS.

“The Department of Justice has provided no public explanation for Ohr’s demotion. Officials inside the Department have told Fox News his wearing of two hats was ‘unusual,’ but also confirm Ohr had withheld his contacts with the Fusion GPS men from colleagues at the DOJ,” according to Fox News.

It is not exactly clear yet what Ohr’s wife, Nellie H. Ohr, did for Fusion GPS, but the payments to a senior Justice Department official’s wife — in addition to his meetings — raises significant questions about the relationship between the Obama Justice Department and a firm hired by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee to conduct political opposition research against Trump.

Ohr’s wife was paid by Fusion GPS through the summer and fall of 2016, the House intelligence committee confirmed to Fox News. Although it is not exactly clear what she did for Fusion GPS, a review of her published works show that she has written extensively on Russia-related subjects.

Ohr worked as a Russia expert at the Wilson Center, a Washington think tank, a decade ago. An open-source review of her work showed she has also reviewed a number of books about Russia.

Although Steele, a former British spy and longtime FBI informant, is said to have known Ohr for a decade, and an “initial investigation” suggested that Steele might have introduced Ohr to Fusion GPS’s Simpson, the revelation that his wife worked for Simpson now calls that account into question.

The web of relationships casts an even darker cloud of suspicion over the Obama Justice Department’s involvement with Fusion GPS.

House investigators are trying to figure out whether the Obama Justice Department used the dossier to launch an investigation on the Trump campaign, obtain a warrant to spy on one of its members, and perhaps pay for or help produce the dossier.

Steele provided the dossier to the FBI in July 2016, the same month that the FBI began a counterintelligence probe into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

The dossier was also shopped around to journalists before the election, but was not published, due to news outlets’ inability to verify its salacious claims, which included that Trump campaign officials colluded with Russia during the campaign. After being published by Buzzfeed, it has been used by President Trump’s political enemies to discredit his election.

House intelligence committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) told Fox News that it “is looking into all facets of the connections between the Department of Justice and Fusion GPS, including Mr. Ohr.”

Trump’s political opponents have cast revelations about the murky ties between Fusion GPS and the Obama Justice Department merely as a political attempt to discredit their collusion narrative.

Widow, 94, Breaks Down As Husband’s Ring, Lost After He Was Killed In WWII Plane Wreck, Is Returned To Her

Via Daily Mail:

One 94-year-old widow cried tears of joy on Sunday as she was presented with a ring she gave her husband 70 years ago before he died fighting in World War II.

Betty McAleenan of Wyoming was reunited with her high school class ring after it was found in Papua, New Guinea glimmering like a shard of hope beneath the plane wreckage that killed her husband Staff Sgt. Robert Greebull in 1944.

Greebull fought as a bomber gunner in the Wyoming Air National Guard. The cause of the crash has not been reported.

Robert and his good luck charm made it through 38 successful missions but unfortunately he lost his life during the 39th. The ring survived.

The ring was discovered amongst the shattered plane in New Guinea 40 years ago, but as of Sunday the forget me not was returned to Greebull’s wife who hasn’t forgotten her love for him–not at all.

‘He was a wonderful, wonderful guy,’ Betty McAleenan said to KLTA.

‘And I fell madly in love like all people do at that age,’ she continued.

$7.8 Million Settlement Against Biomedical Companies Accused of Profiting from Fetal Tissue Sales

$7.8 Million Settlement Against Biomedical Companies Accused of Profiting from Fetal Tissue Sales

by Dr. Susan Berry11 Dec 20170



Two Yorba Linda biomedical procurement companies have reached a $7.8 million settlement with the Orange County, California, district attorney’s office following allegations they illegally profited from the sale of fetal tissue.

The settlement requires DaVinci Biosciences and DV Biologics — a sister company — to permanently close its operations in California and pay $7.8 million through donations and biological materials to a medical school, reports the Orange County Register.

The companies are also required to admit liability and to pay $195,000 in civil penalties.

“This settlement seized all profits from DV Biologics and DaVinci Biosciences, which they acquired by viewing body parts as a commodity and illegally selling fetal tissues for valuable consideration,” District Attorney Tony Rackauckas said.

The civil lawsuit accused the companies of profiting from at least 500 sales to research laboratories between 2012 and 2015 and selling the fetal body parts for a profit of more than $1.5 million from 2013 to 2015.

The Register reported in October 2016:

According to the lawsuit, the companies hired sales and marketing staffers and pushed them to meet revenue goals through discount promotions such as “summer sales” and coupons; the products were advertised in catalogs, brochures and other materials.

“It costs us roughly $25 per unit to manufacture, and we are selling from $170,” one employee wrote in an email, according to the lawsuit.

From 2009 to 2015, the companies collected $56,678 in “packing and handling” fees marked up by roughly 50 percent over the actual cost of packaging and handling, according to the suit.

Employees were paid a commission on profits they earned from the packing and handling charges, the lawsuit says.

Some products were allegedly sold to different customers at different prices.

DaVinci Biosciences is owned by three members of the Isaias family – Andres, Luis, and Estefano. Two of them also own DV Biologics.

The lawsuit followed a year of congressional investigation into allegations that Planned Parenthood sold aborted fetal tissue and organs to biomedical companies for profit.

While much of the focus of the allegations brought by pro-life organization Center for Medical Progress (CMP) has been on Planned Parenthood’s relationship with biomedical procurement company StemExpress, lead investigator at CMP David Daleiden noted that Planned Parenthood of Orange & San Bernardino Counties (PPOSBC) is “longtime baby body parts business partners” with “sister companies DaVinci Biosciences and DV Biologics.”

“The DaVinci companies’ admission of guilt for selling baby parts from Planned Parenthood is a ringing vindication of CMP’s citizen journalism methods and accuracy,” said Daleiden in a statement about the settlement:

In light of the news that Planned Parenthood is now under federal investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice for the sale of fetal body parts, the next step is for Planned Parenthood of Orange & San Bernardino Counties to be held accountable under the law for their 7-year-long aiding, abetting, and profiting in DaVinci’s criminal scheme to sell baby parts for profit.

The House Select Investigative Panel on Infant Lives investigated the allegations into the fetal tissue sales of Planned Parenthood and its biomedical partners. In response to the announcement about the filing of the Orange County lawsuit last year, panel chairwoman Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) said:

Documents produced to the Panel show that, from 2008 through 2015, DaVinci Biosciences obtained its fetal tissue from Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties (PPOSBC). DaVinci has told the Panel that PPOSBC “donated” the fetal tissue. But DaVinci has also told the Panel that its executives contributed thousands of dollars to PPOSBC starting before the Planned Parenthood affiliate began “donating” fetal tissue to DaVinci. Planned Parenthood has said PPOSBC was its only affiliate that gave fetal tissue directly to a research company.

Blackburn said the panel’s investigation showed the relationship between Planned Parenthood and DaVinci “appears to have created a market for the donation of human fetal tissue.”

Last week, Fox News reported the Department of Justice had formally launched a federal investigation into Planned Parenthood’s fetal tissue practices.

OUTRAGEOUS=> Family of Port Authority Bomber Issues Statement BLASTING Law Enforcement

OUTRAGEOUS=> Family of Port Authority Bomber Issues Statement BLASTING Law Enforcement

December 11, 2017
by Joshua Caplan

On Monday morning, Port Authority bomber Akayed Ullah, a 27-year-old Bangladeshi immigrant, injured multiple people after prematurely detonating a homemade explosive device. Ullah carried out the ‘ISIS-style,’ attack using Velcro-like fasteners and zip ties made from a pipe, say NYPD. 

Council on American-Islamic Relations’ legal director, Albert Fox Cahn, issued an outrageous statement on behalf of Ullah’s family.

“We are heartbroken by the violence that was targeted at our city today, and by the allegations being made against a member of our family,” Ullah’s family said.

“But we are also outraged by the behavior of law enforcement officials who have held children as small as 4 years old out in the cold and who held a teenager out of high school classes to interrogate him without a lawyer, without his parents. These are not the sorts of actions that we expect from our justice system, and we have every confidence that our justice system will find the truth behind this attack and that we will, in the end, be able to learn what occurred today. Thank-you for your time,” the family added.

According to NBC News, “Ullah was taken to Bellevue Hospital with wounds and burns after the Monday morning blast, which was captured on security video and spread panic during the morning commute.”

The Ullah family’s statements follower New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s bizarre explanation behind the attack.

“Let’s be clear – this was an attempted terrorist attack. Thank God the perpetrator did not achieve his ultimate goals. Our first responders were there quickly and the only injuries we know of right now are minor,” tweeted de Blasio.

“We are a target because we prove a society of many faiths and many backgrounds can work – we show democracy can work. But we are the most resilient place on earth. We’ve proved it time and time again.”

“The NYPD will secure all transit hubs and major sites in this city. You’ll see additional officers out in force. When you see something, say something. Speak up because you could be saving lives,” concluded the Mayor of New York City.

Obama tries to claim credit for Trump economic boom, finally gets smacked down

One of the more obvious things about the Trump economy is how much better it is than the Obama economy.


Yet incredibly, President Obama, as if jealously looking on at this night-and-day difference, is trying to claim credit for it.



From the Washington Times:


Former President Barack Obama is taking credit for the robust economic growth that is taking place under President Trump.


At a conference of mayors in Chicago, Mr. Obama congratulated himself Tuesday for strong employment numbers in the U.S. this year, saying his climate-change policies have contributed to growth.


“As we took these actions, we saw the U.S. economy grow consistently,” Mr. Obama said. “We saw the longest streak of job creation in American history by far, a streak that still continues by the way.”


He added wryly, “Thanks, Obama.”


Investor’s Business Daily did a fine editorial on how and why the economy was growing here and here, and American Thinker noted one of these editorials here.  Cutting taxes, throwing out regulations, and ending the harassment of Obama-unfavored industries such as oil and coal, have done wonders.


Now White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders called Obama out on his bid to claim credit.

Obama’s claims to credit are not new. Ben Rhodes has been crafting this ‘narrative’ for several months now on Twitter as news after news comes out about the U.S. finally seeing better economic times under President Trump.


But like everything Obama’s ‘mind-meld’ claims, it’s the exact opposite of the truth.


Markets are anticipatory. From the very beginning, when news broke that Trump was elected president, the stock market rocketed upward, a sign of pent-up energy in an economy yearning to break free and a forecast for better times. The expectations have since proven accurate.


Jobs are up and job-creation is finally happening. Gross Domestic Product has topped 3% for two quarters running. Taxes are about to be cut and if that finally gets done in Congress, we will be ‘winning so often we will be tired of winning’ as President Trump puts it. Black home ownership is up. Latino and black employment are up. Business investment is up. Total earnings are up. Manufacturing is up. The stock market has gained 30% since President Trump’s election.


There’s no doubt about it, this economy is Trump’s economy just as it would be Trump’s economy if he had made bad economic decisions. Now it’s coming to light and Obama is trying to hide his own bad record by incredibly claiming credit.

Bill O’Reilly Doubles Down on Secret Tape: Woman Offered $200K To Make Sexual Harassment Claims Against Trump! (AUDIO)

Bill O’Reilly Doubles Down on Secret Tape: Woman Offered $200K To Make Sexual Harassment Claims Against Trump! (AUDIO)

December 11, 2017
by Joshua Caplan

On last Friday’s edition of the Glenn Beck’s radio program, former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly doubled down on claims about the existence of an audio recording of an anti-Trump individual offering “$200,000 to file sexual harassment charges against then-presidential candidate Donald J. Trump.”

Credit: Tiger TV

This isn’t the first time the radio and television legend has made such claims.

Newsmax reported back in October:

Former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly has revealed to Newsmax new details of what he said was “shocking” efforts to attack President Trump’s reputation.

O’Reilly says his information also raises serious questions about the motives behind new allegations that have been made against him.

O’Reilly told Newsmax on Monday that investigators working for him had uncovered an audio recording of “an anti-Trump attorney” offering an unidentified woman $200,000 to file sexual harassment charges against then-presidential candidate Donald J. Trump.

“It exists,” O’Reilly said. “We have urged the person who has the tape to hand it over to the U.S. attorney, because my investigative team believes there are three separate crimes on the audio tape.”

Days after O’Reilly made the stunning claim, former FOX News host Megyn Kelly invited several Trump accusers on her show to rehash accusations that appear fishy to say the least.

Jessica Leeds accused a young Donald Trump of groping her in first class on a flight from Dallas to New York City on Braniff Air in 1979.

Leeds told reporters last year, “If he would have kept his hands on my chest I might not have gotten too upset.”

Last year, The Gateway Pundit debunked her story.

CNN Accuses Trump of Online Bullying After He Calls Don Lemon Dumb

President Trump continues beating the crap out of the fake news media and they are crying like babies over it. It has gotten so bad that CNN is even accusing the POTUS of being a big bad cyberbully.

After being caught red-handed in yet another massive lie on Friday when CNN along with NBC and CBS were fed information from an anonymous source that WikiLeaks had provided Donald Trump Jr. with early information on the DNC emails, Trump turned his weapons-grade Twitter feed on them.

CNN corrected the story but didn’t hold anyone accountable meaning that it was either a regular source of anti-Trump lies working in concert with the network (Adam Schiff?) that they are protecting or that the business of CNN isn’t news at all but rather propaganda.

Already cranky over the “defamatory stories”, the New York Times ran a giant article that fed into the rest of the echo chamber, the gist of it being that Trump watches too much television and GASP, drinks up to ten Diet Cokes per day.

Trump just couldn’t let that go and blasted off on Monday morning:

With Don “Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy” having been ripped as the “dumbest” man on television by Trump, there is just no way that the self-proclaimed “most trusted name in news” was just going to take it anymore and they are howling for the teacher like little children on a playground.

Via The Hill “CNN accuses Trump of online bullying after attack on Don Lemon”:

CNN accused President Trump on Monday of being an online bully after the president tweeted an attack against anchor Don Lemon, calling him the “dumbest man on television.”

“In a world where bullies torment kids on social media to devastating effect on a regular basis with insults and name-calling, it is sad to see our president engaging in the very same behavior himself,” a CNN spokesperson said in a statement to The Hill. “Leaders should lead by example.”

Trump has been fuming at the media in the wake of several high-profile retractions and an unflattering profile in The New York Times that ran over the weekend, which claimed that the president watches hours of cable news coverage about himself every day.

In a Monday morning tweet, Trump disputed the Times’s report and lashed out at Lemon, a frequent critic of the president.

It’s hard to see CNN getting any more pathetic than this but I’m sure it’s coming.

40 Minutes After NYC Terror Attack, CNN Obsesses Over Trump’s Diet Coke Habits

An unfolding terrorist attack in New York City wasn’t enough to derail CNN’s obsession with Donald Trump. Forty minutes after attempted-suicide bomber Akayed Ullah attempted on Monday to murder people with a bomb, New Day journalists lost interest. Co-host Alisyn Camerota had more important topics: Trump’s appreciation of Diet Coke. 

At 7:58 a.m. ET, the journalist broke in with this developing story: “We do have some breaking news we are following right now because there are emergency crews in New York City. They are responding to some type of possible explosion. We understand it’s near the Port Authority bus terminal.” By 8:38am, she was moving on: “We do have more information for you about President Trump’s habits inside the White House.” 

 

 

At 8:43am ET, Camerota breathlessly related a New York Times piece on Trump and soda: 

This is about his Diet Coke habit…. Watching cable, he shares thoughts with anyone in the room, even the household staff he summons via a button for lunch or for one of the dozen Diet Cokes he consumes each day.

The co-host chided, “When I read this, I think, “This is not what doctors would recommend. This is not the healthiest diet.” 

Clearly, this is an important breaking news story as there was an ISIS-inspired attack in one of America’s biggest cities. Priories, CNN. Priorities. 

A partial transcript of when CNN broke in and some of the soda coverage is below: 

New Day
12/11/17
7:58am ET

ALISYN CAMEROTA: We do have some breaking news we are following right now because there are emergency crews in New York City. They are responding to some type of possible explosion. We understand it’s near the Port Authority bus terminal.  

8:38am ET

CAMEROTA: We do have more information for you about President Trump’s habits inside the White House

8:43am ET

CAMEROTA: This is about his Diet Coke habit. Let me read it to you. “Watching cable, he shares thoughts with anyone in the room, even the household staff he summons via a button for lunch or for one of the dozen Diet Cokes he consumes each day.” If you add this, Michael, to what his former — Corey Lewandowski, his campaign manager has a new book out about some of these very things. Corey’s book is called “Let Trump be Trump.” Here’s what he writes. “On Trump Force One, there were four major food groups, McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken, pizza and Diet Coke.” 

When I read this, I think, this is not what doctors would recommend. This is not the healthiest diet. However, obviously, President Trump seems to have boundless energy, so what does your reporting suggest?
